Subject: Narragansett Bay is freezing over!
According to the Providence Journal, upper Narragansett Bay (north of
the Jamestown and Newport Bridges) has frozen over, disrupting travel
into the port of Providence (now daytime-only shipping is allowed) and
some ferry service to Prudence Island.
The last time the bay froze over was in 1978.

WEEKLY TROPICAL CYCLONE SUMMARY #129 JANUARY 16-23, 1994
North Atlantic Basin: No tropical cyclones.
Eastern North Pacific Basin (E of 140 Deg. W): No tropical cyclones.
Central North Pacific Basin (180 Deg. W to 140 Deg. W): No tropical cyclones.
Western North Pacific Basin (W of 180 Deg. W): No tropical cyclones.
North Indian Ocean Basin: No tropical cyclones.
South Indian Ocean Basin (W of 135 Deg. E):
Tropical Cyclone Pearl/Farah (TC-09S): Tropical Cyclone Pearl was located
at 16S 99.8E at 0000 GMT on the 16th with winds of 80 knots. Pearl moved
generally toward the west while slowly gaining intensity. Maximum winds had
increased to 90 knots by 1200 GMT on the 17th. Pearl then began turning
toward the southwest on the 18th, and south by the 19th, while weakening the
entire time. At this point, Reunion began calling Pearl by the name of Farah
and continued issuing advisories after Guam dropped the system on the 19th.
Pearl/Farah slowed its forward motion and weakened to a tropical depression
on the 20th near 25S 88.5E. The cyclone became quasi-stationary on the 21st
while continuing to slowly weaken. No significant ship reports were found
between the 16th and the 21st for Pearl/Farah.
Tropical Cyclone Edmea (TC-10S): Tropical Cyclone Edmea on the 16th had
45 knot winds at 0000 UTC on the 16th while located near 18.5S 65.5E. Edmea
weakened while recurving, first moving southwest but ultimately moving south-
east through the South Indian Ocean. Edmea transitioned into an extratropical
cyclone by 1200 GMT on the 18th when located near 28.7S 67.7E.
South Pacific Ocean Basin (E of 135 Deg. E):
Tropical Cyclone Rewa (TC-05P): The saga of Rewa continued on the 16th
near 15S 157E with winds of 85 kt. Rewa rapidly intensified to 120 knots 12
hours later, which matched its previous peak of intensity on the 2nd/3rd of
January of 120 knots. Rewa began a definite southeasterly track on the 16th,
then quickly changed course to westerly by 0000 GMT on the 18th. Throughout
this course change, Rewa rapidly weakened, with maximum winds decreased to 55
knots near 21.5S 153.5E by the 18th. Just before reaching Australia, Rewa
abruptly changed course, back toward to the southeast at 0000 GMT on the 19th.
Brisbane, Australia began issuing advisories on Rewa at this time. Rewa
continued southeast, paralleling the coast of Queensland, Australia through-
out the remainder of its tropical lifetime and was last seen at 0000 GMT on
the 22nd near 30S 160E. Rewa's lifespan was long indeed, 26 calendar days,
outlasting 5 other tropical cyclones that came to life during its reign in
the southern hemisphere. Two significant observations were noted during
this week from Rewa. Gannet Cay, Australia on the 19th at 0600 GMT reported
NNW winds sustained at 59 knots and a pressure of 987.4 mb. The best ship
report noted was on the 19th at 1200 GMT from the ship CGJM8. Their winds
were NNE at 33 knots with a pressure of 1007.0 mb.
Tropical Cyclone Sarah (TC-11P): The low that became Sarah can be traced
back to a low that formed along the international date line on the 13th of
January near 11S 176E. This low drifted southeast the succeeding several
days, positioning itself near the dateline on the 16th. This low began to
drift westward and became a gale by the 19th near 17S 170E. Honolulu began
writing advisories on this system as a tropical depression on the 20th...
and then decided it was two tropical depressions 6 hours later! But it was
indeed only one system as it continued chugging westbound. This depression
was upgraded to Sarah on the 22nd when its winds exceeded 35 knots. Guam
also began writing advisories on this system as TC-11P at 0000z on the 22nd
while Sarah was located near 15.0S 163.5E. Sarah continued drifting west-
northwest and rapidly intensified. By the 23rd, Sarah had sustained winds
of 85 knots while located near 14S 161E, and its movement had become nearly
stationary.

At most NWS offices, the ceilometer can "see" only up to 12000 feet. As
Eric Helgeson suggests it would be possible to look at a sounding or saterllite
to determine the actual level, but (1) many WSOs don't have a satellite
monitor, and (2) the soundings available on AFOS only go up to 400 mb.
It would be possible to pull up and manually plot an encoded sounding
but few NWS meteorologists would take the time to plot a sounding especially
for that purpose when it's widely acceptable to the majority of endusers
to call a cirrus deck "E250 BKN", and for an altocumulus deck not appearing
on the ceilometer "E120 BKN". I think that anybody seeing an estimated
ceiling at that level would know to treat it with a grain of salt...but I
could be wrong.

Subject: All-time cold in Michigan
An article in the Detroit Free Press on Saturady explained that the all time
coldest temperature ever measured in Michgan, -53F last Wednesday in Amasa, Mi,
was disqualified because the thermometer was **too close** to the house (1 foot
away). The National Weather Service Observation Handbook #2 clearly states
that a thermometer must be located at least 4 times the height of any obstacle
away. Ironically, the actual temperature in Amasa was probably colder than -53,
since heat radiating from the walls of the cabin warmed the thermometer.
The Weather Service will be setting up an official thermometer in Amasa to
safeguard future cold weather records.

To all wx-talk:
It is not raining hard in California!!!! Winter storm warnings in the sierra's
and winter watches every where else! The drought this winter is over and
rain and snow are here. Here in San Luis Obispo, there is already 2-3 inches
and the rain is still coming down hard!!! Is this pattern going to continue
in the future?
